Believe it or not, Swap Updates are my favourite kind of post to write. Looks are a pain because I'm a perfectionist and it's so annoying to get decent pictures, because I wasn't blessed with a nice face >:-). On the other hand, products are generally beautiful to look at (and if they aren't, I won't swap for those XD) :).

*Revlon Leading Lady Blush in Smoky Rose.*Bourjois blusher in Rose De Jaspe (the lid broke off but the product's fine).*Lots of sample baggies ^_^. Most are eye shadows, but there's one of lip balm :-/.*Jane Be Pure mineral gel liner in Black (comes with a liner brush).*An Avene face wash sample as an extra - gave that to my sister.*Avon Treselle roll-on fragrance - it's sweeter than my usual type, but I think I like it.*Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker in Clear. Warning: this doesn't just make your lips feel cold or tingle, like most plumpers do - it has a very strong (probably close to painful the first time you try it) effect that's reminiscent of electric shocks >:-). Also, it smells freakishly exactly like cake (made me wonder just how fake food flavours may be nowadays). But it does work and the cake smell is pleasant :). And I got used to the electric shock treatment after enduring it twice :-P.*Maybelline Line Stylist liner in Jade Flash (as an extra - I swapped it off).*NYX Lip Pencil in Pink Nude.*Tarte Lock & Roll Creaseless Eye Shadow Duo in Rose Gold. This works. I wore it on a hot day for over 12 hours and it didn't slide off :).*NYX Lip Gloss With Mega Shine in Cady Shop [Candy Shop] and Frosteed Beige [Frosted Beige?]. Here's the situation: My glosses say 'Cady Shop' and 'Frosteed Beige'. The NYX official website lists 'Cady Shop' as Candy Shop (though the swatch is way off), but 'Frosteed Beige' is spelled with a double e :-/. Verify it here.*Sleek Eye Dust in Jet Set and Vintage. I love these pigments so I got more ^_^.*NYX eye shadow in Rust. I can never have too many reds ;D.*NYX Chrome Eye Shadow in Iced Mocha.*Everyday Minerals eye shadows in Lap Top and Net Surfing, and eye shadow minis in Mistle Toe, Snow Flakes and Starlit. Mistletoe is meant to be a single word as far as I know, but the packaging spells it as two words :-/.
